The Arconia’s favorite crime-solving trio is back — and this time, the case is personal. The newly released trailer for Only Murders in the Building Season 5 teases an emotional, twist-filled return, as Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel (Selena Gomez) face one of their most shocking mysteries yet: the suspicious death of their beloved doorman, Lester.
On the surface, Lester’s passing might seem like an unfortunate accident. But if we’ve learned anything from the previous seasons, it’s that in the Arconia, nothing is ever that simple. Our podcasting sleuths quickly realize there’s a darker truth lurking beneath — one involving a dangerous tangle of powerful billionaires and old-school mobsters.
A Mystery That Hits Home
From the very first moments of the trailer, the stakes feel higher. Lester wasn’t just the doorman — he was the building’s gatekeeper, confidant, and secret keeper. His death rocks the Arconia’s tight-knit community, giving Charles, Oliver, and Mabel a personal reason to dig deeper.
This new case forces them out of their comfort zone. The world of high society and organized crime is far more treacherous than anything they’ve faced before, and the trailer hints at threats that hit closer to home than ever.
The Signature OMITB Blend
While the stakes are deadly serious, the trailer also reassures fans that Only Murders in the Building hasn’t lost its charm. Between Oliver’s theatrical flair, Charles’s dry wit, and Mabel’s grounded sarcasm, the comedy lands just as hard as the clues. And of course, the podcast is back — because what’s a murder investigation without a little on-mic commentary?
New Faces, Familiar Favorites
Season 5 also introduces an impressive roster of guest stars, including Bobby Cannavale, Renée Zellweger, Logan Lerman, Christoph Waltz, Keegan-Michael Key, Beanie Feldstein, Dianne Wiest, and Jermaine Fowler. Returning fan favorites will share the screen with these newcomers, promising even more twists, false leads, and memorable character moments.
Premiere Date & Streaming Info
Season 5 of Only Murders in the Building premieres September 9, 2025 on Hulu and on Hulu with Disney+. Whether you’re in it for the mystery, the comedy, or the irresistible chemistry between the leads, this season looks like a must-watch.
So grab your magnifying glass, brush up on your true crime knowledge, and get ready to hit “record” — because the Arconia’s most chaotic detectives are back on the case.
